Why an account in the Dominican Republic?
The Dominican Republic offers USD accounts at large, established Caribbean banks and does not participate in CRS — interesting for clients with ties to Latin America.
SWICOR works with Banco Popular and BHD. We select the institution that fits your profile, compile the complete KYC file including source of funds and handle all communication with the bank. You typically invest two to three hours of your time.
Account data from Dominican Republic is not automatically reported to your country of residence. The account is fully legal — your reporting obligation remains. Every opening comes with a written compliance briefing.
